I Frighten My Husband, Daily

The other night we’re sitting around over a cocktail–a good friend, my husband, and me. My friend brought up a topic I happened to have an opinion on (surprised, arent you?).
“Okay,” I said. “Let me just tell you–”
My husband groaned. “Oh, God.”
“Oh, God, what?” I wanted to know. “You don’t even know what I’m going to say.”
My friend was giddy as she addressed my husband. “Oh, the look on your face. Are you terrified of what she’s going to say right now?”
He sighed before admitting, “I’m terrified of everything she says.”

Did You Get a Haircut?

I went away for the weekend. As usual, it was fabulous. When I returned home to my loving family my husband told me the many accomplishments he had ticked off the list while I was gone. Deck fortification, sprinkler maintenance, feeding of children – that sort of thing. He also attended to some personal grooming, but he didn’t mention this – not right away.
15 hours after my return he said, “I will have you know I got a haircut this weekend.”
He’d been saving this. And he had a right. It was no ordinary haircut. He’d gone from fairly long and curly back to close cropped. And I hadn’t noticed. He had me.
“I see now,” I said. “Sorry, Babe. It looks good. Really.”
He nodded, triumphant. “I want a Haircut Free Card.”
My Husband is on Facebook

My husband is a reluctant member of Facebook. But he’s slowly warming. The other night he was messing around on his account and got so excited to see the posts coming through his feed.
“Wow, people write stuff on here all the time. No wonder you’re addicted.”
I’m not, but that’s another story.
“I have a lot of friends now. Look at all these friends!”
“Really? How many friends do you have, Babe?”
“I don’t know. How can you tell?”
I told him where to find the number. ”So? How many?”
“Ha!” he said. “I have 30!”
